Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Book VS Movie

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the book was written by J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the movie was directed by Chris Columbus. They are great a book and movie. This essay will compare and contrast the book and movie of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Books are extremely detailed and have lots of character evolution, however, books require time to invest. A book may take days to read, but movies only take up to three hours to watch. Moreover, a movie does not have as much character or story development. Also, a movie does not have as much detail or all the events that a book has.

The same goes for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

    JK Rowling could have never imagined in 1990 when the thought of Harry Potter first appeared to her, how much this fictional character would capture the hearts of readers all over the world. Similarly, Tolkien’s Series The Lord of The Rings has had a resounding effect on its readers, some even going so far as to learn the Elven language that Tolkien himself created. Both of these fantasy works, though incredibly different, are very similar in regards to their Christian themes and underlying message they read. Probably more debatable by fans is whether or not the Harry Potter series is a Christian work, let alone if it even carries Christian themes and undertones. Many within both the evangelical and non-religious world seem to be offended at such a thought as this. Half offended that the story of the gospel could be hidden within the confines of a book of witchcraft, the other half offended that a book of witchcraft and wizarding could carry a Christian message. Yet to Rowling herself the Christian themes seem to be quite obvious. Whatever party one may find stand in, it is clear the Harry Potter series is a Christian work, because of JK Rowling’s deliberate use of Gospel themes, biblical references, and biblically allegorical figures placed throughout the books.

    An advantage of using text is that it tends to be more detailed than in movies. Additionally, books have more scenes and movies may cut things out that the creators find unimportant. Even though books have their pros, they have their disadvantages as well. For one thing, the text occasionally fails to capture the expressions of it’s characters, whereas a movie involves acting to portray their emotion. Another disadvantage of using this medium is in the movie you can hear the tone of how each character is speaking, while in the text the tone can’t be as easily deciphered. There are many advantages to watching a film rather than reading the story. One of these is that a movie tends to be easier to relate to, probably because of the better portrayed emotion. A con to viewing films rather than reading stories is that characters are often not how the reader imagined them to be look-wise. While both mediums offer an enjoyable story, they clearly have their own pros and

    A movie that came out in 2002 was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. This movie was based off the best-selling novel, which was written in 1997 by J.K. Rowling, called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. If you were to read this book and watch the movie you would find many differences, but the main difference between the two is that the book gives more information to the reader than the movie gives to the viewer. If someone was to watch the movie instead of reading the book, that person would not be able to have an accurate perception of the book because so many things in the book are changed in the movie or parts are left out of the movie completely. This is mainly because the book has more characters and chapters, which are able to keep the reader informed and interested. Still, the movie is shorter so that people who want a quick summary of the storyline can get it,

    One major difference in the movie that was not in the book was the starting scene of the movie was set in the moor with Sir Charles being attacked by the Hound. In the book the starting scene was when Watson and Holmes had just found a walking stick that had the initials C.C.H. on it. I think that the movie starting scene was more informative because it let you know about what was happening and it also gave some more suspense to the film.

    Also, books usually have more characters and give continued suspense so that the reader will be hooked or addicted to finish the book to find out the story.

Due to this, those people who love detail information about stories usually prefer books than movies as movies does not have a detailed information about the story. Furthermore, reading books can not only enhance the reader’s vocabulary and creativity, but also increase their reading and writing skills, while watching movies only provides entertainment (Lee, wordpress.com).
